LifecycleException in ProjectForge

Question

I've installed ProjectForge successfully but after some time tomcat starts pausing I found out the following under logs. I'm using XAMPP.
I assumed it was due to port conflict I have changed the port but I need to know the root cause.

Answer 1

I seem to have found the cause of the issues. There are bugs with services provided by ProjectForge. When ever those services are called it ends up throwing error.
